My soon to be ex filed taxes without my knowledge and still wont send me copies of our 2006 taxes. I was told that this is a federal offence. I have been on the phone with the IRS trying to get an answer but the hold time is to long. Can anyone answer this here? He has also said that this refund is will be going into an account that I am not able to have access. This is not right in my eyes. If I need to give more info please let me know because this is all new to me and I am not sure where else to get answers to my question except to pay more to my lawyer...which I cant afford at this time.
Thanks and blessings,
Carol

Of course it's not right, but what do you want us to do about it? The only two things that we can suggest, you're already nixed because 1) you don't have any patience and 2) you're cheap.
If you want the IRS to help you...then you HAVE to stay on hold until you can talk to an agent.
You're ALSO going to HAVE to bring this issue to your attorney's attention and that's going to cost you a minimum of 6 mintutes of his/her hourly rate.
Or you can just simply forget about. YOUR choice.

Sorry I trouble you Gecko. I wasnt asking you to do anything but help me with some tax advice that is all. If I have offended you by postign a question forgive me. I thought that is what these forums are for.
As far as being cheap. I have already paid out thousands that I cant afford. I am a single mom with health problems and have to borrow money to just get this started after which my soon to be ex has some sexual issues with my daughter AND has actually came after me when I have asked him to get help. I have had to undergo several times getting restraining orders and domestic violence. As you can see I am JUST trying to get some free advice from people who seem to want to help. If making negative comments is what this forum is all about wow...how do you help anyone? Forgive me for even bring this to this place. Would anyone else care to help me or do I need to leave this place?
I am overwhelmed at this response.Is this a normal response from this community?

Did you work in 2006? If so, how did he get your W-2 to file the tax return? If you didn't work, IMO he should keep the refund because it was based on money he earned and paid in himself. If you didn't work, you wouldn't have any income to file a return with, therefore no 'refund' due you.
If you did work and he did somehow get your information to file the return, then your lawyer (and you WILL need to get one for the divorce) can make sure that the return is requested and ordered to be turned over to you so that he/she can determine how much of the refund was due you and obtain a judgement for that in the divorce.

Yes, some people who respond can be quite blunt. Others can be almost cruel. Fortunately most of the people who respond try to be kind and helpful. There are often good answers on the board. It's hard not to take some of the posts personally and get offended at times. I think some posters are feeling a lot of personal pain and they use this forum to vent. I think sometimes they don't realize how hurtful their responses can be to others. I wish you the best of luck in solving your IRS issues.

---> And golly gee...then there are people like yourself who have NO advise to give whatsoever EXCEPT to comment on the advise of others.
---> The poster ONLY has TWO options...IRS and her attorney...BOTH that she stated she didn't want to do because 1) she didn't want to stay on hold and 2) she can't afford to bring to her attorney's attention. While waiting on hold IS a drag...you do what you have to do. And it doesn't cost a whole hell of a lot to write your attorney a letter or email or even call their office and leave them a message about the issue. So it DOES become THEIR choice on what they want to do or not do.
---> If you think that that is too "blunt" or "cruel"...I don't know what to tell you.

I never mentioned you specifically. I guess you decided for yourself that you are blunt and cruel. Who am I to argue with your self esteem issues. You do give some good advice, but I think you are very angry about issues in your life. I think you take out your aggression on others. It is your right to vent on this board, just as it is my right to encourage newbies to post. The last time I checked we still did live in the United States.

Matilda,
Thank you for your kind concern. I guess I picked the wrong subject to post and there is no point in staying in a place that gives such a great reception. We are all at some point having troubles and because I have not worded something right I get kicked down ever more. Thats ok...as my grandmother use to tell me You catch more flies with honey then you do vinager. Maybe others will put themselves in others shoes before posting such a rotten response.
Blessings to you!

I can relate to this issue as I am now dealing with an IRS issue with my (not soon enough) to be x from last years tax return (which is now going to hold up my 2006 filing).
The questions that the other poster asked (although maybe not in the most supportive way), were important....did your x file with your W2 or did you not work last year?
If you worked, and your x had your W2 and filed a joint tax return, he would have had to have "signed your name" in which case, he BROKE THE LAW and this is a FEDERAL offense! Your lawyer would have to be notified asap. If he didn't have your W2, the only thing he could have done was filed "married filing seperately" in which case he wouldn't receive your portion of your refund and you would then file the same way "married filing seperately". If you however didn't work in 2006, and he filed with your W2 and signed your name, etc. you are ENTITLED to HALF of the refund!
Good luck and hope I helped.

Too happier times!

Unfortunately, this IS the normal response you'll receive from this community. There is what can only be termed a "cyber gang" that dominates these forums. I'm not sure what gives them the right to bully newcomers but it certainly speaks volumes for who they are. You did not deserve the harsh response you received and I can only postulate that the person who gave you the harsh response is on the rag and should remember what goes around comes around.
